Verizon’s been taking a couple of stabs at advertising the second-best smartphone operating system and I have to say, the latest tie-in kinda nails it. Ladies and gentlemen, R2D2:
What better way to advertise Android than with an actual droid? The resemblances between Lucas’s reboot of the Star Wars franchise and Android don’t stop there, however. To wit:
- Both bastardize popular original ideas to turn a buck with vastly inferior offerings
- Both substitute eye-catching features to cover for their lack of substance
- Both feature lead characters that have the likability of wet cardboard
- Both have successfully suckered in millions, only to have them regret the experience
Android: the Episode I of smartphones.
